Critics Weigh In on Copyright Act
The responses, published Friday by the U.S. Copyright Office, are the result of a month-long inquiry concerning sections of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Highlights of the comments are:
Robin Gross, executive director of IP Justice, applied much the same argument to e-books. Because many e-book publishers only allow works to be read on a single device or platform, buyers who want to move a file to a laptop or PDA are often unable to do so, which Gross believed was unfair.
Many based their arguments upon the legal principle of fair use, which allows copying of snippets of copyrighted works for research, teaching or other purposes.
Advocates for the blind were also deeply critical of the prohibition on technologies used to manipulate files in ways publishers didn't expressly authorize. Often, such tools are necessary to make content accessible to blind and visually impaired users, wrote Paul Schroeder, vice president of governmental relations for the American Foundation for the Blind.
